At a noon press conference, Buffalo Fire Commissioner Michael Lombardo said there was a 911 report of someone who may be trapped inside 1815 Genesee just before 4:00 this morning. Lt. Charles “Chip” McCarthy of Rescue Company 1 and Firefighter Jonathan Croom of Ladder Company 7, both on the first alarm, went into the building to search for the possible victim. The bodies of the two firefighters were found together in the basement of the structure after the first floor collapsed.
